The Conflict between Prosecuting Attorney and None Judicial Agencies Role in Protecting Incompetent's Rights

Under Iran’s legal system incompetents are protected through various channels namely in part by nullyfiying or ruling ineffective the legal actions taken by the same. Further, to gurantee and safeguard their interests, particular agents are to be delegated to administer on their behalf their legal affairs. Thus, Iran’s law has provided for certain establishments as to serve the purpose including custodianship, administration [of will] and guardianship. Save the above, to guarantee the interest of incompetents are further protected, the law has designated the Prosecuting Attorney with the duty to oversee the actions taken by the above three delegates, as the case may be, taking necessary measures where required. The founding of nonejudicial protective service organizations such as State Welfare Organization [Sazman Behzisti], Protective Service Committee [Komite Emdad] and Martyre Foundation [Bonyad Shahid] has led to most of the protective duties originally entrusted with the Prosecuting Attorney be practically carried out by the said organizations, thereby giving rise to the need addressed by this article to study and discuss the interference of such duties and the conflict between their functionality.
